The 1.1 license is not GPL-compatible. To avoid new issues with application programs that may be licensed under the GPL, the 1.1 licence is not being applied to client side libraries. ----end quote---- This means that unless SOMETHING is done about the license, it has just become Non-Free. Sorry. Fork the codebase pre-X Oz License. Then continue from there as something like "ReallyFreeX" or something.
